This is my first Gentoo install and I'm excited to try it out. I'm getting the typical Grug error saying it can't find the kernel. I used genkernel and am trying to install my /boot on the same partition as /root. Here is my grub.conf file...

Code:
...
root (hd0,3)
kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.19-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc real_root=/dev/sda4 udev
initrd /boot/.....


I have checked and verified the filename is correct. I was not real sure what the ram0 and init lines are for but the handbook said to use them with genkernel. I have a feeling I didn't correctly setup my /boot partition on /. Like I said I'm new at this and appreciate any help!! Thanks in advance!

can you please post the output of the following commands, from the livecd environment, with /mnt/gentoo mounted?

  • mount
  • ls /mnt/gentoo/boot
  • cat /mnt/gentoo/grub/grub.conf

Thank you for the response. I did finally get this working and can now successfully boot into Gentoo. Am now looking forward to setting everything up! I'm sure I'll be looking for more help in the future. Thanks
